Registration
Date: Friday 6th September
Location: Club House at Elton Furze
Time: 7.00am - 11.15am
Team Captains: PLEASE ensure you register with ALL your team present.
Voucher for Lunch for all golfers given on registration.
Complimentary Tea/Coffee available on arrival and a Voucher for Lunch for all golfers will be given on registration and, in line with theme of the day you will be enjoying “Bangers ‘n Mash”” after your first 9 holes.
Due to the large amount of entries, we shall be using a two-Tee start. This will benefit the player on two counts – 1) you will have an hour to enjoy a drink and a bite to eat after playing nine holes before you play your next nine! The starter will provide you with the timings for your second nine holes; and, 2) we hope to get the field finished earlier so that you can go back to the hotel and be ready for an amazing evening!
Please arrive at least an hour before your tee off to allow time to register and ten minutes with the Starter and time for tutoring on the live scoring iPhone.
Tee Times
| 1st Tee | 730am - 11.00am | Men | Yellow Tees |
| 10th Tee | 7.30am - 11.00am | Ladies | Red Tees |
NB Should you wish to play the course beforehand (5th September) please ring 01832 280614 and book a tee time and let them know you are playing in the Tony Hadley Golf Classic and they will give you special member guest rate of £19.00 per person.
Dress Code
Appropriate golfing attire and golf shoes on course – NO JEANS/TRAINERS.
NO golf/spiked shoes allowed in Clubhouse bar area.
Competition Information
This year, as well as the main golf competition, you will also compete in the Sponsor’s competition giving your team entry into your own “Cricket World Cup” competition on the golf course. This year the actual Cricket World Cup takes place in England and Wales – hence the theme of the day: Hole in One – HOWZAT! combining Golf and Cricket.
Your team will be representing a Country in this competition and the team on the opposing tee time will be playing for the same country.
In addition, we are delighted to inform you that once again we will be using LIVE scoring with smart phones organised this year by Competition Golf, kindly sponsored by Quai Administration Services. A tutorial on use will be given on the day, so please ensure you allow enough time prior to your tee time.
Main Competition
The main golf competition will be a Four Ball Stableford Team Event.
To try to reduce round times this year we have altered the playing format a little. Every player will play a tee shot and then the Team Captain will choose the ‘best drive’ from which each team member will play their next shot. After this, all players will play their own ball, as normal in golf.
We have also tweaked the scoring system a little this year, so rather than the best 2 scores on each hole counting (as in previous years), this year 2 players’ scores will count for 6 holes, 3 players’ scores will count for 6 holes and 4 players’ scores count for 6 holes. To ensure there is no advantage for playing off 1st or 10th tees the breakdown for this scoring system will be as follows:
| Holes | |
| 1-3 | 2 players’ scores count |
| 4-6 | 3 players’ scores count |
| 7-9 | 4 players’ scores count |
| 10-12 | 2 players’ scores count |
| 13-15 | 3 players’ scores count |
| 16-18 | 4 players’ scores count |
The handicap limit will be 24 for Men and 30 for Ladies and players will receive a stroke allowance of ¾ of their handicap. However, when completing your confirmation sheet for return to the Organiser, please simply write down your official/normal handicap and, if you are a golf club member, please include your CDH number. My Golf Team will check your handicap on the day and the Scorer will make any necessary adjustments. If you do not have an official/normal handicap, please write 24 for Men and 30 for Ladies and we’ll work things out from there.
Team Captains must:
- Enter all four gross scores after each hole using the pre-programmed Phone;
- Ask team members who are heading towards scoring more than a double bogey to pick up their ball (this helps with pace of play); in this case they will score zero on the Phone scorecard
The Phone will now also collate the scores for the ‘All Rounder’ (Yellow Ball) competition. You can purchase your one “Yellow Ball” on your first Tee for £10.00 (1 Ball per team). To be eligible to win the Yellow Ball competition you will need to hand your Yellow Ball back (if you still have it) with your score Phone at the end of the round.
Scores entered on the Phone will be used to determine the Winning Team of the main golf competition and the ‘Winners’ of the Cricket World Cup. Each person playing for the ‘Winning Country” will receive a prize kindly donated by Quai Administration and Mashie Golf and this will be presented to the Team Captain during the evening event.
Please note that the scores for all 3 competitions will be visible as Leader boards on the Phone and in the Clubhouse but will have 3 scores hidden so you will not know the final results until golf presentations during the evening
‘CRICKET WORLD CUP’ Competition Rules
Teams will score runs and lose wickets per over (hole) depending upon their NETT score.
Birdie or less = 6 Runs
Par = 4 Runs
Bogey or worse = Wicket, 2 runs deducted
Teams playing off the 1st and 10th holes at the same time will play for the same Country and their overall score will amount to a total of runs. The Country scoring the highest total of runs will win.
If tied, the winner will be the Country scoring the most sixes; if still a tie then the Country with the most runs scored by the lowest handicap player will win.
NB Overthrow
For one shot only throughout the round, a golfer can use a throw, roll or lob of the golf ball with their hand.
NB Umpire Card
The Captain holds this card and once any player in the team encounters any of the following:
- Goes into a bunker
- akes an air shot
- goes into water
- out of bounds
- or any offence the team deems worthy of a player receiving this card.
This card is then passed to that player.
The player left with the “Umpire Card” at end of their round hands over £5 fine together with Phone and Yellow Ball to the Scorer.
The scoring is fully automated from the gross scores entered onto the Phone, as in the example here.

Banners
If you have been kind enough to sponsor a hole, a banner or banners with company details on will be placed on your sponsored hole in an appropriate place on the hole either near tee or the green. All banners should arrive with appropriate stakes and fixings to allow us to put up banners correctly. If you have sponsored a hole but do not already have a banner, then please contact the following who will be able to help you at a reasonable price and mention it is for The Tony Hadley Golf Classic:
Mick Horton - Europress Print on 01733 390890 for free quote email mick@europressprint.co.uk
With regard to your delivery of banners, please contact Margaret Clark via email margaretc21@btinternet.com or by phone 01733 350951 NO LATER THAN 28th August to arrange for safe delivery/collection of banners by 5th September. Please confirm the number of your sponsored hole when speaking to Margaret and ensure Banner delivery is marked accordingly. The course will be set up by volunteers the day beforehand and therefore we regret it will not be possible for banners to be put up during the golf day itself.
Please let Margaret know if you would like two banners on your sponsored hole – one on tee and/or one near green, if appropriate.
